Lightly carried, the suede shows ruffling as happens with use but corners are unworn and undarkened and there is no flattening or shiny areas to the pile.

Two small marks to the top of the bag and one very small one to the base, (see Photo Gallery below) these are camoflagued extremely well by the finish.

Hardware is excellent and the braid feature shoulder chain is beautiful. Shiny, taught and just a light rub to the very end, near the D ring.

Fully lined in clean chocolate Mulberry Tree silk repeat with a side zipped secuturity pocket, the top of the bag seals with a smooth running zip. The zip pull displays some extremely minor pits, but no dulling or tarnish.
